I was staring at my old cell phone today, and I suddenly realized that Nokia uses the same (or at least very similar) font as SNK for their logo.

This seems like a pointless bit of trivia, but it's interesting nonetheless...

Change the connecting people text to have a orange boarder like the SNK 1 and it would look exact.

it isnt on windows so you can download it here

edit: you need to decompress the font and place it on the fonts file at the windows dir.

That would be like sueing a company for using Arial or monotype fonts in their logo. The height of a font doesn't mean anything, the vertical scale is just set different (You can do this in Adobe photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, shit you can do some of this stuff [tracking, kerning] in M$ word or plain HTML).
